CREATIVE INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRITED Page 1

The UND Employment Survey (formerly called the Placement Survey) was developed in 1997 through the partnership of Career Services and Institutional Research for the purpose of collecting demographic and employment information on recent University of North Dakota graduates. Over the years the use of this information has expanded and is now being used for university assessment purposes, provided to academic colleges, linked to the College Portrait (Voluntary System of Accountability), various offices and service areas across campus, and used for a number of internal and external questions regarding job placement and salary data.


In fall 2011, 1,345 UND undergraduate alumni who graduated in December 2009, May 2010, and August 2010 were mailed a questionnaire seeking demographic and employment information. A total of 546 alumni participated in the survey. After adjusting for bad addresses, an adjusted response rate of 43% was attained.


96% of respondents indicated being either employed or currently a student – similar to the 97% reported last year. 82% (84% last year) of respondents indicated that their current position is “directly related” or “somewhat related” to the education they received at UND. Respondents reported residing in 39 states. 77% of respondents are currently residing in North Dakota (40%) or Minnesota (37%). Overall, North Dakota retained 143 (65%) of the 219 respondents who graduated from a ND high school. This is one percent lower than last year’s highest percentage (66%) reported by this survey.
